You're alive??!!" I yell and drop to my knees crying. He walks closer to me and tears were falling out of my eyes faster. He gets down to my level and looks at me devilishly and kinda scary.
"Laurance? Are you okay?" I ask and I rub his cheek. He grabs my hand and squeezes it tightly so that I lose feeling in it. I scream and he punches me in the face and he stands over me. Then soon stabs me in the stomach.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I scream. Carmen and Kaylee run into my room with DJ and a few gods.
"Are you okay?" Carmen asks. I look at her and I look around my room and remembered what happened with Laurance and I put my knees back up against my chest and sit there.
"No. Laurance is dead. I just had a nightmare." I tell them and I put my face on my knees and just sit there.
"Okay. Will you be alright alone?" Carmen asks.
"I want to be alone." I tell her rudely and she looks at the ground and looks back up at me.
"You know, ever since we got back here to the dorm. You've been much ruder and more solitary. That's not like you." Carmen says and I look at her agitated.
"What? you don't like how I'm UPSET, MOURNING, DEPRESSED, and TRYING TO RECOVER from my brother's death!? Cause if you don't then get out." I say to her forcingly and DJ looks at me surprised.
"Fae, don't talk to your fiends like that. They're worried about-----" I interrupt DJ.
"I don't care, DJ! Once they can understand how angry and upset I am about Laurance's death. Then maybe I'll be a little bit nicer." I interrupt him.
"Watch your tone----"
"No! You're not Mom or Dad! You're not in charge of me! You guys have no right to be even in this room with me! You know what? You are all just wasting my time. Get out." I command and they all leave expect Tsukito, Balder, Apollo, and Loki.
"Why aren't you guys leaving?" I ask them rudely and I look over at Laurance's sword next to my balcony doors and begin to tear up. I shut up and put my face back on my knees.
"Because we're worried about you, Fae." Loki says.
"This isn't like you to get THAT angry at your friends, talk back to your brother, and kick people out of your room." Balder explains and I stare at Laurance's sword.
"Balder, has a point there. This is not anything like you, Von Ronsenberg." Tsukito agrees.
"Fae, you're not the only one that's experienced something like this before." Apollo comes over to my bed and sits down on it in front of me. Loki, Balder, and Tsukito also come over with Apollo and sit down somewhere on my bed with me.
"How?" I ask and look at them all.
"Loki and I have experienced something that hurt both of us before." Balder says and I look up at him.
"How?" I ask and Loki gets himself comfortable.
"We both lost Balder's twin sister. His sister was a warrior for their father Odin. When I was younger I am part of a bloodline of giants, so everyone hated me and I was alone in solitude. Later on, Balder, Thor, and their sister were venturing and got lost. Balder asked me where they were and I tried to get them lost, but I couldn't. Then ever since that day those three always visited me and I would try to hurt them all emotionally, but never could. Soon the other gods hated me being around and wanted to kill me. Then Balder and his sister saved me and I never knew how to repay them. When we all got older I began to fall in love with their sister. When Balder and Thor had to stay at their castle for personal reasons and I was alone with their sister, her and I got to know each other better. That day I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes. I told Balder and Thor first and they were happy for both of us. The only bad part was that we couldn't act like a couple around Odin. We dated for about 2 months and had a feeling that it was time to tell him. We told him and he grew furious and wanted us to break up or he'll kill both of us. We denied and he just kept a close eye on me and watched my every move. Soon he started having feelings for Balder's sister. I went to their castle one day to take their sister on a date. When I walked in and saw Thor and Balder's mother crying. Balder and Thor were right next to her trying to calm her down and I asked what was going on and Balder said, 'Loki you're going to have to stay as calm as possible. You're not going to like what's going on in Frigga's room.' I looked at him and ran to her room and saw that she slept with her dad. She said that we never did anything fun and that she was getting tired of doing what we did. I screamed my head off at her and didn't know what to do. I left the castle angered. I broke everything around me and went on a complete rampage. She was soon murdered by an unknown guard of Odin's. I broke down knowing that the woman I loved was murdered. I attended her funeral (surprisingly) and mourned her for ages. When I saw her for one last time I told her if I had never asked you out you would still be alive." Loki explained his and Balder's story.
"What was her name?" I asked.
"Frigga. The Norse goddess of love and beauty." Balder answered.
"Wow. She just did incest with your dad." I comment.
"Yeah. They soon got married after their affair." Loki said angrily. I looked at him as he stared angrily at the ground.
"Who else?" I asked.
"I have." Tsukito raised his hand and I looked at him surprised.
"Really?" I asked and we all looked at him surprised.
"Yes I have experienced something like what you're going through also." Tsukito says.
"Okay then tells us your story." Apollo says and Tsukito nods his head.
"I fell in love with the Japanese goddess of the sun, Amaterasu. Her and I are I guess what humans would call 'co-workers'. We would have to tell each other when we are going to put the sun up and the moon down. And when we put the sun down and the moon up. I was getting ready to put the moon down and I was waiting for a long amount of time and began to become suspicious. She soon called me over because she thought that I might have an extra magic to help her put the sun down. Because she couldn't find hers. I went over to her place and gave her some of my magic and began to go back until she stopped me and said that I should just stay there to just do my job. So I did and we did our jobs together. I stayed over at her place and we hung out a little bit then when I had to leave she kissed me. I went back the next day and we began to form a romantic relationship and it grew stronger and stronger. I went to her house one day for us to go to Earth for a night time date. When I got to her house she barely opened the door and she said that she wasn't feeling well and had to cancel. Everytime I went back it was the same excuse until I had enough. I finally opened the door completely and saw that she was pregnant. Then a man came in next to her and it was my good friend. Bishamon, Japanese god of war. I felt angered and I broke up with her and I left her home and never went back. Then not much longer after she had her children Bishamon broke her heart and left her. She came to my house to apologize and I denied her and demanded me to leave. Then she said you know what since I broke your heart and Bishamon broke mine and I can't get back to yours. I will kill myself in front of you right now. I told her no and that we both had an important job. She denied and said if nobody will ever love her again she'll kill herself. I said okay let me talk to my brother. They hung out a couple times and he didn't fall in love with her. She was able to have her soul still control the sun after she took her own life. I felt sorry that I didn't fall in love with her again. I don't regret it anymore because I now know that she's with a dead god that has probably fallen in love with her and deserves her." Tsukito explained his story.
"Don't ever blame yourself if someone close to you has died and you couldn't do anything about it." I tell him and he smiles.
"Mine is of a woman that I was still in a relationship with." Apollo said and I motioned him to tell it.
"She was a human. Her name was Cassandra. I met her when I was bringing the sun up for morning. Then after that we fell in love. I soon gave her my divine power so she can prophize our future. She soon took a look into our future and she saw that she would soon take her own life. I tried finding her in her village one day and she wasn't there. I asked her friends and family of where she could be and they didn't even know. I was going crazy looking for her and when I saw her body in a river and saw cuts on her arm. I had an immediate break down. I blamed myself for days and soon convinced myself that I would never find happiness." Apollo explained his story. After hearing al of their stories I soon realized that they've all lost someone that was close to them. For Loki, Tsukito, and Apollo it was lovers. For Balder it was his sister. I looked back over to Laurance's sword and got up and went towards it. He always kept a bandana around the handle. It was the last present from our grandpa Hayden before he died that he kept close to him. I unwrapped it and saw small writing on the part where you can tie it and read it aloud.
"What's that?" Apollo asks. I walk over back to my bed and sat back down and looked at the bandana.
"It was the last present that Laurance got from our grandpa Hayden before he died. It's a bandana." I tell him. Loki grabbed the end that had the writing on it and showed me it.
"Can you read this?" Loki asked me. "I can't. It's in Greek." He reminds me.
"I can read it." Apollo said.
"I can too. I'm Greek. I've learned it from my family." I tell Apollo and he tests me.
"Sti synécheia, diaváste ti eínai stin bantána." Apollo says in Greek.
"Okay. And by the way you said,'Then read what is on the bandana'." I tell him and find the writing on it.
"It says,
Laurance, you are my first great grandson that I've ever had. And I will cherish that. This might be my last gift to you since I am in fact growing older and getting to the point of my death. I wanted you to have this. It's a bandana that I have worn before I became the Lord of Meteli. I was yes very poor and I had to hide my identity to steal resources for my family. I want you to have this for when you need to hide your identity for something bad that you've done. At some point in life give this to Fae. That Cookie will sure as hell miss me a lot when I die and I know that. I have a feeling that you and your younger siblings will be very skilled with your swords. Farewell, Lord Laurance.
Love,
Grandpa Hayden." I finished reading and I smiled. I knew that at some point I was going to have this. But I began to question about the "Lord Laurance" part.
"Wow. That was very kind of him to give that to Laurance." Tsukito said.
"Yeah it was." I said looking at the bandana suspiciously.
"What's wrong?" Loki asks me.
"Nothing it's just that Laurance was 9 when grandpa Hayden died. Why would he put down 'Lord Laurance'?" I asked and they all looked confused about the "Lord" part. I ignored it for later and wrapped the bandana around my forehead and grabbed Laurance's sword and put it in another sword holder that I had for an old Shadow Knight sword. I left my room and went outside and sat out there for a while. Then I went back into my bedroom to get changed into something that Carmen's grandpa used to always wear that I liked. I put on a sweatshirt that had the front open and showed my bra. I put on my black sports bra under the cut open sweatshirt and put on my black ripped leggings. I put on my cut open gloves (below). Then I put on the bandana before I put my hoodie up. Then I went outside and hung out in the shadows.
